The State and globalisation:
The State: nation states and national sovereignty:
A nation state is a political community bound together by citizenship and nationality.
Nation State

● Self identifying community that does not ● Political entity with sovereignty
necessarily have sovereignty ● Recognised by the international community
● Not necessarily recognised by the ● Could contain more than one nation or
international community community, such as the United Kingdom
● Not necessarily possessing a state, for ● Defined territory needed
example the kurds ● States cannot cross the boundaries into
● Defined territory not needed other states
● Nations can live in more than one state
A nation is a group of people who self identify as belonging to the same group or community with a strong
sense of community.
A nation can have:
● Territory
● Political ideas
● Customs
● Ethnicity
● Language
● Folklore
● Religion
● Culture
By comparison astate is a form of political entity that must have:
● A functioning government
● A permanent population
● Recognition by other nation states
● A defined territory

Nation states:
The nation state is the prime political entity of the modern era and westphalian system. A nation state is a
nation with its own state. It is:
● A state that represents the political wishes of a nation, thus gaining authority and legitimacy
● A self governing state
● A state that is based on the principle of self determination
The United Nations (UN) recognises 193 nation states in the world.

Issues with nationhood and statehood in the modern world: Nations without a state:
There are ongoing claims for nations that do not have their own states. Scotland held an independence
referendum in September 2014. The Scots thus have a right to determine their own future. The Spanish
government however do not recognise the right of the Basque or Catalan people to determine their own
independence.

National Claims that cross borders:
Territorial claims of a nation do not always coincide with the borders of states. Many states are in a dispute
with their neighbours over the sovereignty or ownership of territory. Issues arise when two nations claim the
same land. The United Kingdom has its own example in Northern Ireland in which two different
communities or nations claim the territory of Northern Ireland as their own. Both have strong historical
arguments and claim a certain legitimacy. Similar conflicts have taken place in the Middle East regarding
Israeli and Palestinian claims to the same territory. The same has also occurred in Eastern Ukraine.
